Spotlight on Pebble Players

A black stage or concert light with a mounted butterfly-shaped decoration or attachment.

In 1951, a youth theater group was established under the Stony Hill Players umbrella and named Pebble Players. Pebble Players was ​brought back to life in 2009, fulfilling the dream of Jayne Myers and Stony Hill Players.


The program grew in 2018 with the addition of a junior musical, and by 2024 Pebble Players proudly presented its first college-level production.

Pebble Players is focused on serving the youth community of

Summit, New Jersey

While extending to:

  • Union

  • Essex

  • Morris

  • Somerset and

  • Middlesex Counties

Our goal is for each participant to

gain confidence in themselves.
